Will you be watching "Make Me A Christian" this Sunday on Channel 4?

I probably won't just beacuse I'm a bit against any kind of "make me" anything if it concerns religion, philosophy etc..research not to mention war has shown us that if you immerse someone in an environment and basically bash them with ideas over and over and surround them with people who believe those ideas and want them to convert, well chances are that if you wanted to you could make a big hairy biker believe he were the sugar plum fairy after long enough...

I just feel it has a "forced" element to it, and that because you are so immersed in it, you can actually lose yourself a little bit and just start agreeing because you like the people you are with, and they seem nice and rational, and you are away from your own environment so perhaps feeling a bit lost and at that point "fitting in" seems more appealing than being a loner in a bunch of happy people in a group! It has nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with group dynamics, the need to fit in and feel loved etc imho!

I always wonder how many of the "converts" end up reverting back after they are back in their own environments for a few months; do the results "stick" or are they temporary, a result of situation and circumstance rather than a real change of mind and heart? This is nothing to do with any like/dislike for any religion in particular, but more the methods used to try to ensure the conversion on these programmes.

I have nothing against the sharing of ideas etc but the way the last series of this programme went I found disturbing to be honest, so I don't think I would watch something in the same kind of grain again.

I wish! I don't recieve UK Channel 4 but would watch if I did!

Don't I wish I could get UK Channel 4 here in the US, that sounds hysterically funny.

I must admit I'm curious to see the line of reasoning from the Christians. It would be like someone trying to convince me that fairies live at the bottom of my garden.

OK - that's just a pitiful excuse for a TV show, and the priests and ministers should be ashamed for pandering in such a way.

I'll tune in to see what it's like. If it's at all like 'Make Me A Muslim' I'll turn over, that was pure hate-mongering.

Thanks for this post, I'm going to record it, it sounds very interesting. Is it from the same series as 'Make Me A Muslim'?

I'm wondering if they're going to include any other religions - Judaism, Hinduism, maybe? - in this series?

if it's anything like the spanish inquisition then you can bet your *** i'll be watching it. I wonder if you can bet on how long they get tortured before they convert.

Will it actually show prefrontal lobotomies taking place?

No, I saw make me a muslim and it made me feel physically ill
